John Cena says Backlash announcement will “shock the very foundation of WWE”

In a video posted on his X account, John Cena said that the major announcement he will make tomorrow at Backlash will “shock the very foundation of WWE.”

Such announcements typically fall short of expectations and with Cena heading up the Club WWE project, the announcement is rumored to center around that.

“WWE Universe, hey, John Cena here, standing in Thunder Alley, outside of Benchmark International Arena in Tampa Bay,” Cena said in the video. “In just a few days, I have a major announcement inside this building that is gonna shock the very foundation of WWE, from its fans to its Superstars, from its champions down to its rookies.”

He added that he’s grateful that Tampa is allowing him a place to make this announcement and then plugged ESPN and Netflix as the destination for Backlash.
